The different elements to the lesson will allow students to explore the history of the “Special Triad” – Title IX, the AIAW (Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women), and the WBL (Women's Basketball League)—through group discussion of the perspectives of the players, exploration of poetry written by individuals from the league, and the opportunity to connect with these histories through creating found poetry. Students will then be encouraged to explore more of the story through further reading, a special exhibition, and film.
